<p>so… does anyone know the official date when the recipient list will be posted? (or around what time we receive finalist letters, if there are any?)</p>
<p>My status page still says “Semi process started,” and the FAQ suggests that there is another status which will come next, so I doubt they will be sending letters out until the status changes to “Semi process complete.”</p>
<p>my status still says “Online Submitted” lol is that bad?</p>
<p>yeah, im not gonna lie thats pretty bad. the status should be in the semi final review process. </p>
<p>maybe they didnt get your documents</p>
<p>hmm maybe I should contact them. who did you guys email? was it just <a href="mailto:info@spaprog.com">info@spaprog.com</a>?</p>
<p>dna3-
Yeah, that’s the email.</p>
<p>Hypothesis: I think we’ll find out around May 24th just because of the difference in timing of the notifications this year.</p>
<p>Last year: Semifinalists notified in mid-March and recipients notified ~May 10th.</p>
<p>This year: Semifinalists notified via letter dated April 1st. April 1st is ~two weeks after mid-March.</p>
<p>May 24th is two weeks after May 10th.</p>
<p>Voila!</p>
<p>Darn. I guess I was wrong. I hate waiting though.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when we will be notified?</p>
<p>freespirit, I thought it was an excellent hypothesis - it made perfect sense! Maybe Monday???</p>
<p>Oh gee whiz - Monday is a holiday. Tuesday at the soonest.</p>
<p>still no word…</p>
<p>yeah…this is getting a bit ridiculous</p>
<p>Thanks, tocollege!</p>
<p>Agree with grandmaster.</p>
<p>Does anyone want to email them and post the reply on CC to ease everyone’s pain? I already emailed them to ask if they received my semifinalist materials, but I don’t want to bother them again or make them think I’m impatient.</p>
<p>I just called in. The person I talked to said that the selections will finish at the end of May and then they’ll start sending out letters.</p>
<p>thanks jadore</p>
<p>Thank you for calling them, jadore!</p>
<p>freespirit…did spa ever email you back in regards to your semi materials?</p>
<p>Oh, yes…a while ago; I think it was a few days after the deadline had passed. SPA said that the materials were received but just hadn’t been processed yet; later that evening, my status page changed to the green “semi process started.”</p>
<p>Any News???</p>
<p>None here. (CA)</p>
